Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review

Ray Tracing Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy, with its captivating recreation of the wizarding world, offers ray tracing features that enhance the visual experience, though perhaps not to the extent of a full path tracing implementation. Ray-traced reflections add a captivating sheen to the grand halls of Hogwarts, bringing the marble floors and shimmering surfaces to life. Ray-traced shadows deepen the atmosphere, casting realistic shadows from every student, creature, and spell. And with ray-traced ambient occlusion, the interplay of light and shadow is rendered with greater nuance and detail. While Hogwarts Legacy may not be a full ray tracing showcase, these effects still contribute to a more immersive and visually impressive experience.

Then in our last raytracing title, Hogwarts, we see the 5090 coming in with 7% worse performance than the RTX 4090, and while we did retest, I guess it shows how fast the 5090 is, and that CPU-wise, even on a test like this, our 9800X3D isn’t able to keep up at this resolution.

Luckily as we move up to 4K, which is where you’re realistically playing with this card, we now see, thanks to a 16% improvement over the 4090, a framerate of 65 FPS, so just over that threshold that gamers crave, though again, even with this increase, and a 140% lead over the 7900 XTX, the 1% low figures so suffer, though thankfully, that’s more of a widespread game issue as we can see across multiple GPUs in our chart.

As a child in my 40's, I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
